Law Offices of Mark Stevens

Mark Stevens at the Law Offices of Mark Stevens handles criminal defense cases involving firearms and ammunition in New Hampshire. This isn't a retail business—it's legal representation for gun owners facing charges related to weapons or ammo violations.

New Hampshire has relatively permissive gun laws compared to other states, but that doesn't mean you're in the clear everywhere. Gun control advocates have tightened ammunition regulations as an indirect way to limit firearm rights. Violating these laws can get a gun owner into serious trouble, even if they're otherwise in full compliance.

• •Transferring ammunition to anyone under 16 (except your own child, grandchild, or ward)
• •Using armor-piercing or explosive ammunition in any crime
• •Possessing ammunition if you're a convicted felon, controlled substance user, or subject to a domestic violence restraining order

Federal law adds more: no long gun ammo to anyone under 18, no handgun ammo to anyone under 21, and strict regulations on armor-piercing handgun bullets.

New Hampshire does not require ammunition sellers to be licensed, maintain buyer records, or prevent ineligible people from possessing ammo—creating gray areas where legal trouble can start.

If you've been accused of violating ammunition or firearms laws, immediate legal consultation is critical. Stevens builds defenses based on: - Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches - The prosecution's burden to prove guilt "beyond a reasonable doubt" - Documentation of legal purchases from approved dealers - Your constitutional right to keep and bear arms under New Hampshire law
